After installing EndeavourOS on a PineBook Pro, I tried to use Hyprland on this PineBook Pro. Since I have already blogged about Hyprland a lot, I want to report that Hyprland runs smoothly on this PineBook Pro. I basically reused all my ricing and customizations that I blogged about in my previous posts about Hyprland. […]
I hadn’t used Eclipse in Hyprland for a while. It used to work correctly; however, starting from somewhere in version 0.41, something broke, and it’s still broken in the current (at the time of writing) version 0.43. When I execute Eclipse in Hyprland, i.e., in Wayland mode, the trees in Eclipse, e.g., Package Explorer (but […]
Recently, I blogged about using KDE applications in Hyprland. I also blogged about theming and styling them. However, I’m not very happy with that solution, so I’ll provide a possible alternative, which, in my opinion, is better. Some of the steps are similar to the ones in my previous post. I assume you’ve already installed […]
Waybar has a dedicated module for Hyprland workspaces: https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/wiki/Module:-Hyprland#workspaces. One of its most fantastic features is the possibility of representing the application windows in each workspace. For example, here I have the workspaces with the following application windows: Kate (text editor) and terminal (Alacritty) Dolphin (file manager) A Firefox window and a Firefox window on […]
Recently, I blogged about using KDE applications in Hyprland. But what about theming and styling them? I’ll show how to do that in this blog post, assuming you’ve already installed a few KDE applications, like Dolphin, Konsole, and Kate (see the above-linked blog post). WARNING: the strategy shown in this post is not optimal, in […]
I have already blogged about KDE applications in Hyprland. However, with the latest updates, things broke a bit especially with Dolphin, which does not recognize file associations anymore: double-clicking on a file always shows this empty menu, as if it could not find any associations for any file: On the Arch forum that has already […]
Updated on 8 March 2024 (for Plasma 6) Updated on 30 May 2024 (for Dolphin’s “Open With” empty menu) This is another post of the Hyprland series. I am a big fan of KDE applications for many everyday tasks. Since Hyprland is not a full desktop environment, you can choose which applications to install for […]
This is another post on the Hyprland series. In a previous post, I showed how to create a custom button in the Waybar for wlogout: a wlogout is a logout menu for Wayland environments: Remember that in Arch, this is available as an AUR package, e.g., you have to install it through an AUR helper […]
Here’s another post on how to get started with Hyprland. This time, we’ll see how to configure notifications with mako, a lightweight notification daemon for Wayland, which also works with Hyprland. (you might also want to consider and experiment with an alternative: dunst). If you followed my previous tutorials, you have no notification daemon installed. […]
Up to now, I have shown how to get started with Hyprland with the initial configurations. Now, I’ll show how to install the mainstream status bar in Hyprland: Waybar. Again, I’m going to do that for Arch Linux. As in the previous posts, I will NOT focus on the look and feel configuration. Before continuing, […]
In this post, I’d like to document how to use ssh-agent in Hyprland to store SSH key passphrases. This is part of my blog series on Hyprland. Assuming you use SSH keys protected with a passphrase, each time you use an SSH connection with the SSH key, you are prompted for the passphrase. You can […]
This is the second blog post on getting started with Hyprland (see the first post here). In this article, we install and configure a few other tools. We will also look at the customization of keyboard shortcuts. Other tools As noted here https://wiki.hyprland.org/Useful-Utilities/Must-have/, you need an Authentication Agent: Authentication agents are the things that pop […]
In the past few months, I’ve heard (i.e., read articles and seen videos) many good things about the Wayland compositor Hyprland. I decided to try it, and I’ve been using it for almost one month as my daily driver. I’m still not into “tiling” that much, but in Hyprland, you can also switch to classic […]
I’ve just started experimenting with the Wayland compositor Hyprland and wanted to use my favorite wallpaper manager, Variety. Unfortunately, Variety does not support Hyprland out of the box. However, it’s easy to make it work also on Wayland. I’m going to use Arch Linux in this blog post. First of all, you must install “swaybg”, […]
